¼cupof honey or sugarto taste, you may want your tea to be sweeter
Instructions
Bring 10 cups of water to a boil. You can boil it in a stock pot or plan to use a heat proof bowl.
Once at a boil, turn off the heat and add 1 oz or approximately 1 packed cup of rinsed mint tea leaves.
Let steep for 10 minutes. Once steeped, remove all the mint leaves using tongs or a strainer.
Strain your tea through a fine mesh strainer and/or a cheesecloth to make sure there is no additional dirt or small bugs in your final drink.
Pour ½ cup honey to the still warm tea, stirring to incorporate. You can use the same amount of sugar as an alternative. This is a lightly sweetened tea so you can increase or decrease sweetener to your preference.
Chill until ready to serve. Add a sliced lemon or lime for garnish and added flavor.
